Manchester United have taken the lead in the first leg of their semi-final tie against Nottingham Forest and to very little surprise, it is once again Marcus Rashford who made the difference for the Reds.
Rashford had scored five goals in his last five games prior to tonight’s meeting but United’s talisman has extended that run now, opening the scoring after roughly five minutes with a sensational solo effort, as seen below.

Rashford claimed the ball and despite having two Forest defenders against him, he did not hesitate to drive straight at goal as he shimmied his way past them both.
The 25-year-old kept his composure to score his 18th goal of the season in all competitions and that will give Ten Hag’s men real confidence and potentially even set them on their way to securing a place in next month’s Wembley final.
Brilliant man.
